DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Various aspects of this disclosure are now described with reference to the drawings, wherein like reference numerals are used to refer to like elements throughout. In the following description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of one or more aspects. It should be understood, however, that certain aspects of this disclosure may be practiced without these specific details, or with other methods, components, materials, etc. In other instances, well-known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form to facilitate describing one or more aspects.

For video content recorded on a handheld device (e.g., a smart phone, a camera, etc.), video stabilization can be performed to remove unwanted video motion (e.g., unsteady or shaky video). Translational motion and/or rotational motion of unstabilized video can be estimated and removed using a translational model and/or a rotational model to generate transformed video frames. However, some or all of the transformed video frames can include black borders of unknown data as a result of the transformation. As a result, a zooming operation can be performed on the transformed video frames to remove the black borders of unknown data from the transformed video frames. For example, each of the transformed video frames can be “zoomed in” as a function of a zoom value. As such, the black borders of unknown data included in the transformed video frames can be removed from the transformed video frame (e.g., the black borders of unknown data included in the transformed video frames can be cropped out). However, it is desirable to minimize the zoom value so that the black borders of unknown data included in the transformed video frames are removed while maintaining known data in the transformed video frames (e.g., data in the transformed video frames other than the black borders of unknown data).

To that end, techniques to generate and/or modify motion compensation parameters for video stabilization (e.g., to determine a zoom value to facilitate video stabilization) are disclosed. In particular, an offset value (e.g., a global compensation offset value) can be generated to reduce (e.g., minimize) a zoom value for a video sequence. For example, the offset value can be subtracted from one or more motion compensation parameters (e.g., horizontal displacement parameter, vertical displacement parameter, rotational motion compensation parameter, other motion compensation parameters, etc.) calculated for each video frame of a video sequence. Therefore, new motion compensation parameters (e.g., modified motion compensation parameters) can be generated based on the offset value. Furthermore, the new motion compensation parameters can be utilized to calculate a zoom value for the video sequence. As such, the zoom value can be applied to each video frame in the video sequence so that each video frame in the video sequence can be cropped as a function of the zoom value. The system(s) and/or method(s) disclosed herein can be implemented independent of motion estimation. As such, the zoom value for the video sequence generated based at least in part on the offset value can be adjusted (e.g., modified) without recalculating motion estimation (e.g., without re-estimating motion) for the video sequence. Furthermore, a required zoom value to remove black borders of unknown data included in transformed video frames can be minimized and/or reduced. As a result, stabilizing video content as a function of a zoom value can be improved.

Referring initially to FIG. 1, there is illustrated an example system 100 that can provide improved video stabilization by generating and/or modifying motion compensation parameters (e.g., to determine a zoom value for video stabilization), according to an aspect of the subject disclosure. In an aspect, the system 100 can be implemented on or in connection with a device (e.g., a user device). For example, the device (e.g., the user device) can include, but is not limited to, a cellular phone (e.g., a smart phone), a tablet, a camera, a personal computer (PC), a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA), an electronic reader (e-reader), a media capable device, a portable computing device, an interactive television, an internet-connected television, a set-top box, a streaming media device, a gaming device, etc. In another aspect, the system 100 can be implemented on or in connection with one or more servers (e.g., one or more servers that host user-uploaded media content). For example, the system 100 can be employed by various systems, such as, but not limited to media content systems, media server systems, cloud-based systems, content management systems, network systems, computer network systems, communication systems, router systems, server systems, high availability server systems (e.g., Telecom server systems), Web server systems, file server systems, disk array systems, powered insertion board systems, and the like.

Specifically, the system 100 can provide a stabilization component with a media feature (e.g., media component 104), a transformation feature (e.g., transformation component 106), an offset feature (e.g., offset component 108) and a zoom feature (e.g., zoom component 110) that can be utilized in, for example, a media content application (e.g., a video application). The media feature receives a video sequence including at least a first video frame and a second video frame. The transformation feature calculates at least a first motion parameter association with translational motion for the first video frame and at least a second motion parameter associated with the translational motion for the second video frame. The offset feature subtracts an offset value generated as a function of a maximum motion parameter and a minimum motion parameter from the first motion parameter and the second motion parameter to generate a set of modified motion parameters. The zoom feature determines a zoom value for the video sequence based at least in part on the set of modified motion parameters.

In particular, the system 100 can include a stabilization component 102 that includes at least a media component 104, a transformation component 106, an offset component 108 and a zoom component 110. Aspects of the systems, apparatuses or processes explained in this disclosure can constitute machine-executable component(s) embodied within machine(s), e.g., embodied in one or more computer readable mediums (or media) associated with one or more machines. Such component, when executed by the one or more machines, e.g., computer(s), computing device(s), virtual machine(s), etc. can cause the machine(s) to perform the operations described. System 100 can include memory 114 for storing computer executable components and instructions. System 100 can further include a processor 112 to facilitate operation of the instructions (e.g., computer executable components and instructions) by system 100.

The media component 104 can receive video content (e.g., VIDEO CONTENT shown in FIG. 1). In one example, the video content can be user-generated video content and/or user-uploaded video content. In an aspect, a component associated with the media component 104 and/or the media component 104 can generate video content on or in connection with a device (e.g., a media capable device, a user device, etc.). In another aspect, the media component can receive video content from a device (e.g., a media capable device, a user device, etc.). For example, the device can include, but is not limited to, a cellular phone (e.g., a smart phone), a tablet, a camera, a personal computer (PC), a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA), an electronic reader (e-reader), a portable computing device, an interactive television, an internet-connected television, a set-top box, a streaming media device, a gaming device, etc.

The video content can be a video sequence (e.g., a video clip, a video file, a video sample, etc.). The video sequence can include at least a first video frame and a second video frame. For example, the video sequence can include a first video frame, a second video frame, a third video frame, a fourth video frame, etc. In one example, the first video frame can be adjacent to the second video frame in the video sequence. In another example, one or more video frames can be included in the video sequence between the first video frame and the second video frame. Additionally, one or more video frames can be included in the video sequence before or after the first video frame. Additionally, one or more video frames can be included in the video sequence before or after the second video frame. In an aspect, the video content can be associated with a user (e.g., a user of a media sharing platform). For example, a user can record (e.g., capture) the video content using a handheld device (e.g., a smart phone, a camera, etc.). Furthermore, the stabilization component 102 (e.g., the media component 104) can receive the video content via the handheld device (e.g., the smart phone, the camera, etc.) or another device. It is to be appreciated that the video content can be in any recognizable and/or suitable video content format (e.g., video file format and/or audio file format), codec compression format, etc.

The transformation component 106 can calculate and/or estimate motion between video frames in the video sequence. For example, the transformation component 106 can be associated with a motion estimation process for video stabilization. In particular, the transformation component 106 can calculate one or more motion parameters for the video sequence. For example, the transformation component 106 can calculate one or more motion parameters for each frame of the video sequence). The one or more motion parameters (e.g., the first motion parameter and/or the second motion parameter) can include, but is not limited to, a horizontal translation parameter, a vertical translation parameter, a rotational parameter, another motion compensation parameter, etc. The transformation component 106 can implement a translation motion model, a rotational motion model and/or an affine motion model.

The transformation component 106 can calculate a first motion parameter associated with translational motion for the first video frame and/or a second motion parameter associated with translational motion for the second video frame. For example, the transformation component 106 can calculate a first motion parameter association with horizontal translational motion (e.g., a first horizontal translation parameter) for the first video frame and/or a second motion parameter associated with horizontal translational motion (e.g., a second horizontal translation parameter) for the second video frame. Additionally or alternatively, the transformation component 106 can calculate another first motion parameter association with vertical translational motion (e.g., a first vertical translation parameter) for the first video frame and/or another second motion parameter associated with vertical translational motion (e.g., a second vertical translation parameter) for the second video frame. Additionally or alternatively, the transformation component 106 can calculate a different first motion parameter association with rotational motion (e.g., a first rotational parameter) for the first video frame and/or a different second motion parameter associated with rotational motion (e.g., a second rotational parameter) for the second video frame. However, it is to be appreciated that other types of motion compensation parameters can be calculated for the first video frame and/or the second video frame. As such, the transformation component 106 can calculate one or more motion compensation parameters for each frame of the video sequence.

The transformation component 106 can apply a transform to the video frames of the video sequence. For example, the transformation component 106 can transform one or more frames of the video sequence to generate one or more modified video frames (e.g., one or more transformed video frames, one or more new video frames, etc.). In an aspect, at least one video frame of the video sequence can be shifted by a horizontal displacement value dx and/or a vertical displacement value dy to generate at least one modified video frame (e.g., at least one transformed video frame, at least one new video frame). As such, in an example where I is a frame in the video sequence and I′ is a new frame in the video sequence, I′(x,y)=I(x+dx, y+dy).

The one or more modified video frames (e.g., the one or more transformed video frames, the one or more new video frames, etc.) can include invalid data (e.g., unknown data) as a result of the transformation. For example, one or more of the modified video frames (e.g., the one or more transformed video frames, the one or more new video frames, etc.) can include a black border of invalid data (e.g., unknown data). As such, the offset component 108 and/or the zoom component 110 can be implemented to facilitate removal of the black borders of invalid data from the one or more modified video frames.

The offset component 108 can calculate (e.g., generate, determine, etc.) one or more offset values. For example, the offset component 108 can calculate an offset value associated with horizontal translational motion, vertical translational motion, rotational motion and/or another type of motion. The offset component 108 can calculate an offset value (e.g., a first offset value) for the first motion parameter and/or the second motion parameter (e.g., the first horizontal translation parameter and/or the second horizontal translation parameter). For example, the offset value for the first motion parameter and/or the second motion parameter can be generated as a function of a maximum motion parameter and/or a minimum motion parameter. In aspect, the offset value can be a midrange value associated with the maximum motion parameter and/or the minimum motion parameter. For example, the offset value can be an average value of the maximum motion parameter and the minimum motion parameter. In an implementation, the maximum motion parameter and/or the minimum motion parameter can be the first motion parameter. In another example, the maximum motion parameter and/or the minimum motion parameter can be the second motion parameter. In yet another example, the maximum motion parameter and/or the minimum motion parameter can be a different motion parameter associated with a different video frame in the video sequence (e.g., a third motion parameter, a fourth motion parameter, etc.). The offset value can be associated with horizontal translational motion (or vertical translational motion). For example, the maximum motion parameter can be a maximum horizontal displacement value (or a maximum vertical displacement value) and the minimum motion parameter can be a minimum horizontal displacement value (or a minimum vertical displacement value).

Additionally or alternatively, the offset component 108 can calculate and/or generate another offset value (e.g., a second offset value) for the other first motion parameter and/or the other second motion parameter (e.g., the first vertical translation parameter and/or the second vertical translation parameter). For example, the other offset value (e.g., the second offset value) for the other first motion parameter and/or the other second motion parameter can be generated as a function of another maximum motion parameter and/or another minimum motion parameter. In aspect, the other offset value (e.g., the second offset value) can include a midrange value associated with the other maximum motion parameter and/or the other minimum motion parameter. For example, the other offset value (e.g., the second offset value) can be an average value of the other maximum motion parameter and the other minimum motion parameter. In one example, the other maximum motion parameter and/or the other minimum motion parameter can be the first motion parameter. In another example, the other maximum motion parameter and/or the other minimum motion parameter can be the second motion parameter. In yet another example, the other maximum motion parameter and/or the other minimum motion parameter can be a different motion parameter in the video sequence (e.g., a third motion parameter, a fourth motion parameter, etc.). The other offset value (e.g., the second offset value) can be associated with vertical translational motion (or horizontal translational motion). For example, the other maximum motion parameter can be a maximum vertical displacement value (or a maximum horizontal displacement value) and the other minimum motion parameter can be a minimum vertical displacement value (or a minimum horizontal displacement value).

Additionally or alternatively, the offset component 108 can calculate and/or generate a different offset value (e.g., a third offset value) for the different first motion parameter and/or the different second motion parameter (e.g., the first rotational parameter and/or the second rotational parameter). For example, the different offset value (e.g., the second offset value) for the different first motion parameter and/or the different second motion parameter can be generated as a function of a different maximum motion parameter and/or different minimum motion parameter. In aspect, the different offset value (e.g., the third offset value) can include a midrange value associated with the different maximum motion parameter and/or the different minimum motion parameter. For example, the different offset value (e.g., the third offset value) can be an average value of the different maximum motion parameter and the different minimum motion parameter. In one example, the different maximum motion parameter and/or the different minimum motion parameter can be the different first motion parameter. In another example, the different maximum motion parameter and/or the different minimum motion parameter can be the different second motion parameter. In yet another example, the other maximum motion parameter and/or the other minimum motion parameter can be a different motion parameter in the video sequence (e.g., a different third motion parameter, a different fourth motion parameter, etc.). The different offset value (e.g., the third offset value) can be associated with rotational motion. For example, the different maximum motion parameter can be a maximum rotational displacement value and the different minimum motion parameter can be a minimum rotational displacement value.

In an aspect, the offset component 108 can calculate and/or generate the different offset value (e.g., the third offset value) for the different first motion parameter and/or the different second motion parameter in response to a determination that the different maximum motion parameter and the different minimum motion parameter are within a certain range (e.g., the different maximum motion parameter and the different minimum motion parameter are within a certain degree value). In a non-limiting example, the offset component 108 can calculate and/or generate the different offset value (e.g., the third offset value) for the different first motion parameter and/or the different second motion parameter in response to a determination that the different maximum motion parameter and the different minimum motion parameter are within a ±45° range.

Furthermore, the offset component 108 can subtract the first offset value (e.g., the first offset value) from the first motion parameter and the second motion parameter associated with horizontal translational motion (or vertical translational motion) to generate a set of modified motion parameters. Additionally or alternatively, the offset component 108 can subtract the other first offset value (e.g., the second offset value) from the other first motion parameter and the other second motion parameter associated with vertical translational motion (or horizontal translational motion) to generate the set of modified motion parameters. Additionally or alternatively, the offset component 108 can subtract the different first offset value (e.g., the third offset value) from the different first motion parameter and the different second motion parameter associated with rotational motion to generate the set of modified motion parameters. For example, the set of modified motion parameters can include at least a first modified horizontal translation parameter, a second modified horizontal translation parameter, a first modified vertical translation parameter, a second modified vertical translation parameter, a first modified rotation parameter and a second modified rotation parameter. As such, the set of modified motion parameters can be associated with horizontal translational motion, vertical translational motion and/or rotational motion.

The zoom component 110 can generate and/or determine a zoom value (e.g., ZOOM VALUE shown in FIG. 1) for the video sequence based at least in part on the set of modified motion parameters. In an aspect, the zoom component 110 can determine the zoom value for the video sequence based at least in part on a set of zoom values generated as a function of the set of modified motion parameters. In one example, the set of zoom values can be associated with corner point values for a video frame. In another aspect, the zoom component 110 can determine the zoom value for the video sequence based at least in part on a maximum zoom value selected from the set of zoom values generated as a function of the set of modified motion parameters. In yet another aspect, the zoom component 110 can determine the zoom value for the video sequence based at least in part on a maximum zoom value that is a maximum zoom value for the video sequence generated as a function of the set of modified motion parameters. As such, a global compensation offset value generated by the offset component 108 can be utilized to reduce and/or minimize a required zoom value for a video sequence.

While FIG. 1 depicts separate components in system 100, it is to be appreciated that the components may be implemented in a common component. For example, the media component 104, the transformation component 106, the offset component 108 and/or the zoom component 110 can be included in a single component. Further, it can be appreciated that the design of system 100 can include other component selections, component placements, etc., to facilitate video stabilization.

FIG. 2 illustrates a non-limiting implementation of a system 200 in accordance with various aspects and implementations of this disclosure. The system 200 includes stabilization component 102. The stabilization component 102 can include the media component 104, the transformation component 106, the offset component 108 and/or the zoom component 110. The offset component 108 can include a translational offset component 202 and/or a rotational offset component 204.

The translational offset component 202 can determine at least one offset value associated with translational motion for the first motion parameter and/or the second motion parameter. In an aspect, the translational offset component 202 can generate an offset value associated with horizontal translational motion (e.g., a first offset value, a horizontal offset value, a horizontal displacement value, etc.) for the first motion parameter and/or the second motion parameter. For example, the first video frame of the video sequence associated with the first motion parameter can be shifted by a horizontal displacement value dx to create a new first video frame. Additionally or alternatively, the second video frame of the video sequence associated with the second motion parameter can be shifted by a different horizontal displacement value dx to create a new second video frame. The horizontal displacement value dx can be an integer value and/or a non-integer value. Additionally, the horizontal displacement value dx can be interpolated from one or more neighboring pixels of a pixel coordinate x (e.g., where (x,y) is a pixel coordinate of the first video frame and/or the second video frame). The translational offset component 202 can subtract the horizontal offset value from the horizontal displacement value dx for each video frame in the video sequence.

Additionally or alternatively, the translational offset component 202 can generate an offset value associated with vertical translational motion (e.g., another offset value, a second offset value, a vertical offset value, a vertical displacement value, etc.) for the first motion parameter and/or the second motion parameter. For example, the first video frame of the video sequence associated with the first motion parameter can be shifted by a vertical displacement value dy to create a new first video frame. Additionally or alternatively, the second video frame of the video sequence associated with the second motion parameter can be shifted by a different vertical displacement value dy to create a new second video frame. The vertical displacement value dy can be an integer value and/or a non-integer value. Additionally, the vertical displacement value dy can be interpolated from one or more neighboring pixels of a pixel coordinate y (e.g., where (x,y) is a pixel coordinate of the first video frame and/or the second video frame). The translational offset component 202 can subtract the vertical offset value from the vertical displacement value dy for each video frame in the video sequence.

The translational offset component 202 can generate the offset value associated with horizontal translational motion as a function of a maximum horizontal motion parameter and/or a minimum horizontal motion parameter. In aspect, the offset value associated with horizontal translational motion can include a midrange value associated with the maximum horizontal motion parameter and/or the minimum horizontal motion parameter. For example, the offset value associated with horizontal translational motion can equal (max(dx)+min(dx))/2, where max(dx) is a largest horizontal displacement value for a video frame in the video sequence and min(dx) is a smallest horizontal displacement value for a video frame in the video sequence. In one example, the maximum horizontal motion parameter and/or the minimum horizontal motion parameter can be the first motion parameter. In another example, the maximum horizontal motion parameter and/or the minimum horizontal motion parameter can be the second motion parameter. In yet another example, the maximum horizontal motion parameter and/or the minimum horizontal motion parameter can be a different horizontal motion parameter associated with a different video frame in the video sequence (e.g., a third video frame, a fourth video frame, etc.).

Additionally or alternatively, the translational offset component 202 can generate the offset value associated with vertical translational motion as a function of a maximum vertical motion parameter and/or a minimum vertical motion parameter. In aspect, the offset value associated with vertical translational motion can include a midrange value associated with the maximum vertical motion parameter and/or the minimum vertical motion parameter. For example, the offset value associated with vertical translational motion can equal (max(dy)+min(dy))/2, where max(dy) is a largest vertical displacement value for a video frame in the video sequence and min(dy) is a smallest vertical displacement value for a video frame in the video sequence. In one example, the maximum vertical motion parameter and/or the minimum vertical motion parameter can be the first motion parameter. In another example, the maximum vertical motion parameter and/or the minimum vertical motion parameter can be the second motion parameter. In yet another example, the maximum vertical motion parameter and/or the minimum vertical motion parameter can be a different vertical motion parameter associated with a different video frame in the video sequence (e.g., a third video frame, a fourth video frame, etc.).

The translational offset component 202 can subtract the horizontal offset value from a horizontal displacement value dx determined for each video frame in the video sequence (e.g., the first video frame, the second video frame, etc.). Additionally or alternatively, the translational offset component 202 can subtract the vertical offset value from a vertical displacement value dy determined for each video frame in the video sequence (e.g., the first video frame, the second video frame, etc.). Accordingly, the horizontal offset value can be subtracted from a horizontal motion parameter and/or the vertical offset value can be subtracted from a vertical motion parameter for each video frame of the video sequence. As such, a minimum zoom value for a video frame with respect to other video frames in the video sequence can increase while a global maximum zoom value for the video sequence is reduced.

In an aspect, the translational offset component 202 can generate a translational motion model as a function of the horizontal offset value dx_offset and the vertical offset value dy_offset. For example, the translational offset component 202 can generate a translational motion model for each video frame in the video sequence such that a translational motion model M1 can be represented as, for example:

${M\; 1} = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 & {{dx} - {dx\_ offset}} \\ 0 & 1 & {{dy} - {dy\_ offset}} \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix}$

Each video frame of the video sequence can be modified by a different translational motion model M1. Therefore, a horizontal displacement value dx for each video frame of the video sequence can be modified as a function of the horizontal offset value dx_offset. Additionally, a vertical displacement value dy for each video frame of the video sequence can be modified as a function of the vertical offset value dy_offset. In one example, the horizontal offset value dx_offset and/or the vertical offset value dy_offset is the same for each video frame of the video sequence. In another example, the horizontal offset value dx_offset and/or the vertical offset value dy_offset is different for one or more video frames of the video sequence.

The rotational offset component 204 can determine at least one offset value associated with rotational motion (e.g., a third offset value, a rotational offset value, a rotational displacement value, etc.) for the different first motion parameter and/or the different second motion parameter associated with rotational motion. For example, the first video frame of the video sequence associated with the different first motion parameter (e.g., first rotational parameter) can be rotated as a function of a rotational displacement value θ to create a new first video frame. Additionally, the second video frame of the video sequence associated with the different second motion parameter (e.g., second rotational parameter) can be rotated as a function of a different rotational displacement value θ to create a new second video frame. The rotational displacement value θ can be an integer value and/or a non-integer value. A video frame (e.g., the first video frame, the second video frame, etc.) can be rotated around an image center (cx, cy) by the rotational displacement value θ. The rotational offset value can be subtracted form the rotational displacement value θ for each video frame in the video sequence.

The rotational offset component 204 can generate the offset value associated with rotational motion as a function of a maximum rotational motion parameter and/or a minimum rotational motion parameter. In aspect, the offset value associated with rotational motion can include a midrange value associated with the maximum rotational motion parameter and/or the minimum rotational motion parameter. For example, the offset value associated with rotational translational motion can equal (max(θ)+min(θ))/2, where max(θ) is a largest rotational displacement value for a video frame in the video sequence and min(θ) is a smallest rotational displacement value for a video frame in the video sequence. In one example, the maximum rotational motion parameter and/or the minimum rotational motion parameter can be the first motion parameter. In another example, the maximum rotational motion parameter and/or the minimum rotational motion parameter can be the second motion parameter. In yet another example, the maximum rotational motion parameter and/or the minimum rotational motion parameter can be a different rotational motion parameter in the video sequence (e.g., a third rotational motion parameter, a fourth rotational motion parameter, etc.).

In an aspect, the rotational offset component 204 can generate a rotational motion model with rotation around an image center (cx, cy) as a function of the rotational offset value θ_offset. For example, the rotational offset component 204 can generate a rotational motion model for each video frame in the video sequence with rotation around an image center (cx, cy) such that a rotational motion model M2 can be represented as, for example:

${M\; 2} = \left\{ \begin{matrix} {{Cos}\left( {\theta - {\theta\_ offset}} \right)} & {- {{Sin}\left( {\theta - {\theta\_ offset}} \right)}} & \begin{matrix} {{{- {{Cos}\left( {\theta - {\theta\_ offset}} \right)}}{cx}} +} \\ {{{{Sin}\left( {\theta - {\theta\_ offset}} \right)}{cy}} + {cx}} \end{matrix} \\ {{Sin}\left( {\theta - {\theta\_ offset}} \right)} & {{Cos}\left( {\theta - {\theta\_ offset}} \right)} & \begin{matrix} {{{- {{Sin}\left( {\theta - {\theta\_ offset}} \right)}}{cx}} -} \\ {{{{Cos}\left( {\theta - {\theta\_ offset}} \right)}{cy}} + {cy}} \end{matrix} \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{matrix} \right)$

Each video frame of the video sequence can be modified by a different translational motion model M2. Therefore, a rotational displacement value θ for each video frame of the video sequence can be modified as a function of the rotational offset value θ_offset. In one example, the rotational offset value θ_offset is the same for each video frame of the video sequence. In another example, the rotational offset value θ_offset is different for one or more video frames of the video sequence.

For example, the finalization component 302 can generate new video content (e.g., a stabilized video sequence) based at least in part on the zoom value (e.g., the zoom value generated by the zoom component 110). The new video content (e.g., the stabilized video sequence) can be generated without invalid data (e.g., video frames of the stabilized video sequence can be generated without a black border). The finalization component 302 can perform a zooming operation based on the zoom value (e.g., the finalization component 302 can “zoom in” each video frame of the video sequence by an amount equal to the zoom value). The finalization component 302 can perform the zooming operation with respect to an image center (cx, cy) for each vide frame of the video sequence. The zooming operation Z can be equal to, for example:

${Z = \begin{pmatrix} z & 0 & {\left( {1 - z} \right){cx}} \\ 0 & z & {\left( {1 - z} \right){cy}} \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix}},$ where z is the zoom value.

The first set of zoom values can be associated with corner point values for the first video frame. The second set of zoom values can be associated with corner point values for the second video frame. In one example, a plurality of first zoom values (e.g., four zoom values) can be calculated at each corner point of the first video frame. Additionally, a plurality of second zoom values (e.g., four zoom values) can be calculated at each corner point of the second video frame.

In an aspect, the first zoom component 402 can remove one or more zoom values from the first set of zoom values and/or the second set of zoom values in response to a determination that the one or more zoom values are less than a predetermined threshold level. For example, the first zoom component 402 can remove one or more zoom values from the first set of zoom values and/or the second set of zoom values in response to a determination that the one or more zoom values are associated with a corner point value within a source video frame (e.g., an original first video frame, an original second video frame, etc.).

The second zoom component 404 can determine a first maximum zoom value from the first set of zoom values. For example, the second zoom component 404 can select a largest zoom value from the first set of zoom values. Additionally or alternatively, the second zoom component 404 can determine a second maximum zoom value from the second set of zoom values. For example, the second zoom component 404 can select a largest zoom value from the second set of zoom values.

The third zoom component 406 can determine a maximum zoom value from at least the first maximum zoom value and the second maximum zoom value. For example, the third zoom component 406 can select a largest zoom value from at least the first maximum zoom value and the second maximum zoom value. In one example, the maximum zoom value can be the first maximum zoom value. In another example, the maximum zoom value can be the second maximum zoom value. In yet another example, the maximum zoom value can be a zoom value associated with a different video frame of the video sequence. Additionally, the third zoom component 406 can set the maximum zoom value as a zoom value for the video sequence.

The zoom component 110 can include the first zoom component 402, the second zoom component 404 and/or the third zoom component 406.

The limit component 502 can attenuate one or more motion compensation parameters for each video frame in the video sequence in response to a determination that a zoom value is above a predetermined zoom value. For example, the limit component 502 can attenuate the first motion parameter associated with the first video frame in response to a determination that the first maximum zoom value is above a predetermined zoom value. Additionally or alternatively, the limit component 502 can attenuate the second motion parameter associated with the second video frame in response to a determination that the second maximum zoom value is above the predetermined zoom value. For example, the limit component 502 can generate a first attenuation value in response to a determination that the first maximum zoom value is above a predetermined zoom value. Additionally or alternatively, the limit component 502 can generate a second attenuation value in response to a determination that the second maximum zoom value is above a predetermined zoom value.

In one example, a first attenuation value α_1 can be generated as a function of a predetermined zoom value z_max and a first maximum zoom value z1 associated with the first motion parameter. For example, α_1 can equal (z_max−1)/(z1−1). As such the, limit component 502 can multiply a horizontal motion parameter (e.g., a horizontal displacement value), a vertical motion parameter (e.g., a vertical displacement value) and/or a rotational motion parameter (e.g., a rotational displacement value) associated with the first video frame by the first attenuation value. Additionally or alternatively, a second attenuation value α_2 can be generated as a function of a predetermined zoom value z_max and a first maximum zoom value z2 associated with the first motion parameter. For example, α_2 can equal (z_max−1)/(z2−1). As such the, limit component 502 can multiply a horizontal motion parameter (e.g., a horizontal displacement value), a vertical motion parameter (e.g., a vertical displacement value) and/or a rotational motion parameter (e.g., a rotational displacement value) associated with the second video frame by the second attenuation value. As such, the limit component 502 can uniquely attenuate motion compensation parameter(s) for each video frame in the video sequence. In an aspect, the limit component 502 can reduce the first attenuation value and/or the second attenuation value until a new zoom value generated as a function of the first attenuation value and/or the second attenuation value is less than or equal to the predetermined zoom value.

In an aspect, the limit component 502 can attenuate the first motion parameter and/or the second motion parameter in response to a determination that the zoom value is above a predetermined zoom value. For example, the limit component 502 can generate a global attenuation value for each frame of the video sequence. As such, the limit component 502 can multiply a horizontal motion parameter (e.g., a horizontal displacement value), a vertical motion parameter (e.g., a vertical displacement value) and/or a rotational motion parameter (e.g., a rotational displacement value) for each frame in the video sequence (e.g., the first video frame, the second video frame, etc.) by the global attenuation value (e.g., by the same attenuation value).

Referring to FIG. 9, there illustrated is a methodology 900 for facilitating video stabilization, according to an aspect of the subject innovation. As an example, methodology 900 can be utilized in connection with a device (e.g., a user device) such as, but is not limited to, a cellular phone (e.g., a smartphone), a tablet, a camera, a personal computer (PC), a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA), an electronic reader (e-reader), a media capable device, a portable computing device, an interactive television, an internet-connected television, a set-top box, a streaming media device, a gaming device, etc. As another example, the methodology can be implemented on or in connection with one or more servers (e.g., one or more servers that host user-uploaded media content). For example, the methodology 900 can be utilized in various applications, such as, but not limited to, media content systems, media server systems, cloud-based systems, content management systems, network systems, computer network systems, communication systems, router systems, server systems, high availability server systems (e.g., Telecom server systems), Web server systems, file server systems, disk array systems, powered insertion board systems, etc.

At 902, a video sequence including at least a first video frame and a second video frame is received (e.g., by a media component 104). For example, the video sequence can be a video sequence captured (e.g., recorded) using a handheld device. The handheld device can include, but is not limited to, a cellular phone (e.g., a smartphone), a tablet, a camera, a personal digital assistant (PDA), an electronic reader (e-reader), a portable computing device, a streaming media device, a gaming device, another type of media capable device, etc. As such, the video sequence can include unwanted motion (e.g., shaky video footage).

At 904, a first motion parameter associated with translational motion (e.g., horizontal motion) for the first video frame and a second motion parameter associated with translational motion (e.g., horizontal motion) for the second video frame is calculated (e.g., by a transformation component 106). For example, a horizontal displacement parameter can be calculated for the first video frame and a different horizontal displacement parameter can be calculated for the second video frame.

Additionally, the zoom value can be determined based at least in part on a set of second zoom values for the second video frame. The set of second zoom values can be generated as a function of the set of modified motion parameters (e.g., set of modified horizontal motion parameters) and the set of different modified motion parameters (e.g., set of modified vertical motion parameters). In one example, the set of first zoom values can be associated with corner point values for the first video frame.

At 1102, at least a first video frame and a second video frame (e.g., a video sequence) is received (e.g., by a media component 104). For example, the first video frame and the second video frame can be included in a video sequence captured (e.g., recorded) using a handheld device. As such, the first video frame and/or the second video frame can include unwanted motion (e.g., shaky video footage).

At 1104, at least one motion parameter associated with video frame motion (e.g., horizontal displacement, vertical displacement, rotation, etc.) for the first video frame and at least one other motion parameter associated with video frame motion (e.g., horizontal displacement, vertical displacement, rotation, etc.) for the second video frame is calculated (e.g., by a transformation component 106). For example, a horizontal motion parameter, a vertical motion parameter and/or a rotational motion parameter can be calculated for the first video frame. Additionally, a horizontal motion parameter, a vertical motion parameter and/or a rotational motion parameter can be calculated for the second video frame.

At 1106, at least one offset value associated with the at least one motion parameter and the at least one other motion parameter is generated (e.g., by an offset component 108). For example, an offset value generated as a function of a mid-range value associated with the video frame motion can be generated. In one example, a first offset value associated with horizontal motion, a second offset value associated with vertical motion and a third offset value associated with rotational motion can be generated.

At 1108, a first set of zoom values for the first video frame and a second set of zoom values for the second video frame is generated (e.g., by a first zoom component 402) based on the at least one offset value. For example, at least one modified motion parameter for the first video frame and at least one other modified motion parameter for the second video frame can be generated based on the at least one offset value. The offset value can be subtracted from the at least one motion parameter to generate at least one modified motion parameter. For example, a first offset value associated with horizontal motion can be subtracted from a horizontal motion parameter associated with the first video frame, a second offset value associated with vertical motion can be subtracted from a vertical motion parameter associated with the first video frame and/or a third offset value associated with rotational motion can be subtracted from a rotational motion parameter associated with the first video frame. Additionally, the offset value can be subtracted from the at least one other motion parameter to generate at least one other modified motion parameter. For example, a first offset value associated with horizontal motion can be subtracted from a horizontal motion parameter associated with the second video frame, a second offset value associated with vertical motion can be subtracted from a vertical motion parameter associated with the second video frame and/or a third offset value associated with rotational motion can be subtracted from a rotational motion parameter associated with the second video frame.

For example, a largest zoom value (e.g., from the first set of zoom values) associated with the first video frame can be selected. Additionally, a largest zoom value (e.g., from the second set of zoom values) associated with the second video frame can be selected.

At 1112, a maximum zoom value is determined (e.g., by a third zoom component 406) from at least the first maximum zoom value and the second maximum zoom value. For example, a largest zoom value from the first set of zoom values associated with the first video frame and the second set of zoom values associated with the second video frame (e.g., a largest zoom value for the zoom values calculated for the video sequence) is selected. As such, the maximum zoom value for the video sequence can be utilized as a zoom value to facilitate video stabilization.

Referring to FIG. 12, there illustrated is an example methodology 1200 for facilitating video stabilization based on a zoom value limit, according to an aspect of the subject innovation. At 1202, at least a first video frame and a second video frame (e.g., a video sequence) is received (e.g., by a media component 104). For example, the first video frame and the second video frame can be included in a video sequence captured (e.g., recorded) using a handheld device. As such, the first video frame and/or the second video frame can include unwanted motion (e.g., shaky video footage).

At 1204, at least one motion parameter associated with video frame motion (e.g., horizontal displacement, vertical displacement, rotation, etc.) for the first video frame and at least one other motion parameter associated with video frame motion (e.g., horizontal displacement, vertical displacement, rotation, etc.) for the second video frame is determined (e.g., by a transformation component 106). For example, a horizontal motion parameter, a vertical motion parameter and/or a rotational motion parameter can be calculated for the first video frame. Additionally, a horizontal motion parameter, a vertical motion parameter and/or a rotational motion parameter can be calculated for the second video frame.

At 1206, an offset value generated as a function of a maximum motion parameter and a minimum motion parameter associated with the motion is subtracted (e.g., by an offset component 108) from the first motion parameter and the second motion parameter to generate a set of modified motion parameters. For example, an offset value generated as a function of a mid-range value associated with the maximum motion parameter and the minimum motion parameter can be generated. The offset value can be subtracted from first motion parameter to generate a modified first motion parameter. Additionally, the offset value can be subtracted from second motion parameter to generate a modified second motion parameter.

At 1208, a zoom value for the first video frame and the second video frame is determined (e.g., by a zoom component 110) based at least in part on the set of modified motion parameters. For example, the set of modified motion parameters can be utilized to generate a zoom value to compensate for motion in the video sequence. As such, the zoom value can be implemented to generate a stabilized video sequence.

In an aspect, the zoom value can be determined based at least in part on a set of first zoom values for the first video frame generated as a function of the set of modified motion parameters. Additionally, the zoom value can be determined based at least in part on a set of second zoom values for the second video frame generated as a function of the set of modified motion parameters. In one example, the set of first zoom values can be associated with corner point values for the first video frame. Additionally, the set of second zoom values can be associated with corner point values for the second video frame. Additionally, a first maximum zoom value can be selected from the set of first zoom values and a second maximum zoom value can be selected from the set of second zoom values. The zoom value can be a maximum zoom value (e.g., a largest zoom value) selected from at least the first maximum value and the second maximum zoom value.

At 1210, the set of modified motion parameters is attenuated (e.g., using a limit component 502) in response to a determination that the at least one zoom value is above a predetermined zoom value. For example, in response to a determination that the first maximum value associated with the first video frame is above a predetermined zoom value, the first modified motion parameter can be attenuated (e.g., modified as a function of an attenuation value). Additionally, in response to a determination that the second maximum value associated with the second video frame is above the predetermined zoom value, the second modified motion parameter can be attenuated (e.g., modified as a function of a different attenuation value). Therefore, a different attenuation value can be generated for each of the modified motion parameters in the set of modified motion parameters (e.g., for each video frame in the video sequence). For example, an attenuation value can be generated as a function of the predetermined zoom value and a maximum zoom value associated with a video frame (e.g., the first maximum zoom value and the second maximum zoom value).

In another example, in response to a determination that the zoom value (e.g. the maximum zoom value selected from at least the first maximum value and the second maximum zoom value) is above a predetermined zoom value, the set of modified motion parameters can be attenuated (e.g. the set of modified motion parameters can be modified as a function of an attenuation value).

In order to provide a context for the various aspects of the disclosed subject matter, FIGS. 13 and 14 as well as the following discussion are intended to provide a brief, general description of a suitable environment in which the various aspects of the disclosed subject matter may be implemented.
